Audio: Michael Irvin says Cowboys need "Real Help"

[xwalker]

You should know that you’re considered a joke here.

 

[xwalker]

Jerry should bring Dez back.

How about Drew Pearson if well past their prime WRs would help.

Jay Ratliff for locker-room distractions.

Taco for being late to meetings.

Wow, it really would take multiple players to replace Dez...

 

[Doomsday]

I had posted in another thread I would love to see how much play-action passing they did the last 3 weeks vs the first 3.

No surprise that the number dropped in a big way.

What is most annoying is you would think with both starting tackles out, they would rely on it more not less. You know, provide some of that help Michael Irvin was talking about.

Just one more reason JG needs to go, this stuff happens every year.

I don't see anything about where the Cowboys really need help.....HC.

In the audio? He said it and it was the title of the article. Honestly Irvin is usually upbeat - this is about as down as I’ve heard him in years. Sounds like he feels like the season is slipping away. My option obviously.

Jerry should bring Dez back, who basically blasted Garrett and laughed in his tweets at Romo mentioning Garrett...

Have any better options, Einstein?

Most probably because of down and distance and getting behind early, and you are trying to catch up, meaning known passing situations, where play action isn’t effective at all.

If we bring in AB, might as well bring in Dez as well. Imagine Cooper/Dez/AB/Gallup, what a circus the media would have with that one

 

[Cebrin]

I feel like that emoji should belong soley to @Melonfeud .

Speaking of Einstein...

I had a professionally administered Myers-Briggs Personality Type test that indicated that I have the same personality type as Albert Einstein.

Less than 3% of the population has that personality type.

Dez was terrible in 2017. He is older, has had an Achilles injury and has been out of football for a significant period of time.

He was not the type to stay in great shape in the off-seasons when he was playing. I doubt that has improved being away this long.

Dez was a 1 trick pony. He had success because of athletic ability only.

He never became a student of the game and was one of the least knowledgeable players in Cowboys history.

Jerry bailed him out of multiple situations and then when they Franchised him and he had not gotten the contract he wanted, he instantly started bad mouthing Jerry.

Dez is a human turd.


Solutions?
What is the status of OT Trent Williams?

He refused to report or play for the Skins.

They're going to get nothing if he just retires.

Both of the Cowboys starting OTs are out.

Trent Williams with a year of sitting on the sofa eating Cheetos with zero work outs would be better tomorrow with no practice than Cam Fleming...

You're a pretty smart poster, I'll give you that, but... a personality commonality does not make you a genius. Just saying...

As for Dez, he might have changed his ways (training, studying, executing). A workout (or 2 or 3) is always done in private before picking up any player. If Dez were to show he's improved on all 3 traits, why not bring him in, especially if he's willing to come in cheap?

As for our O-Tackle positions, UDFA Knight has done a decent job playing Right Tackle for La'El Collins while he gets back. As for the backup Left Tackle position, why not move Connor Williams over there while plugging in either Sua'Filo or Looney at Left Guard? Connor Williams played Left Tackle while in college at Texas, so this should be an easy switch for him.

Two more losses in next two would also be two losses in division while Philly would have zero.

So it would be worse off than you think. If they are two back with 8 to go, they would need to likely have to pick up three games over that stretch. Which might be tough given the fairly easy late schedule for Philly.

Yeah, I hadn’t thought to check if that second game were a division game.

 

[Idgit]

We’re done, please don’t try to make it sound less dire than it is.

We’re not, though.

The league is setup to keep teams competitive. Situations like these are where it works in our favor.

 

[Shinaoi]

Can he play defensive line?

The link and audio is above. This was a really good interview - and forget the part about him calling for Jerry Jones to sign Antonio Brown. The summary:

- We are hurting right now, yeah every team has injuries, but we are hurting in the worst possible places
- Amari Cooper killed the Eagles last year and he likely won't be on the field
- With both tackles out, the Jets had a genius game plan. They played a "bear" 5-man front and isolated the linemen so that it wasn't possible to chip or give them help. And the tackles failed miserably.
- If Collins and Smith are out again, expect the same game plan against us
- And yeah, he said screw the public relations, if Amari can't play for a couple of weeks bring in Antonio Brown, because two more losses and this season might just be lost.

LOL I love Irvin. I think he's a nutcase in a good way. But no ways the Cowboys will sign Brown. Heck, they will sign Michael first before they sign Brown.

 

[Diehardblues]

The bigger point here is that these key injuries are a bigger factor than is being discussed .

It’s probably what is slowing down our offense. You can’t take away our two starting tackles and receivers and not feel the impact especially against stiffer competition.

 

[FTWayne]

yeah everybody was getting beat. I think I seen a couple strippers, um dancers get beat down too. Oh the humanity, and only a few weeks back we had the best talent in the NFL.

 

[Cmac]

I'm wondering why would we expect K Moore/JG offense to out-scheme G Williams of the Jets? When you combine inexperience with conservative/bone-head against aggressive tendencies....it's no match. BTW....expect Philly to be aggressive.

 

[Doomsday]

Most probably because of down and distance and getting behind early, and you are trying to catch up, meaning known passing situations, where play action isn’t effective at all.

That might explain one of the 3 games but even then I am not buying it because they didn't really use PA much in the first half of the Jets game either.

 

[Sydla]

Yeah, I hadn’t thought to check if that second game were a division game.

The bye week might be huge at this point if they lose to Philly. 4 losses in a row, something would need to shake up and a bye might be enough to get them righted, especially considering the Giants aren't great (granted, at this current play, we could lose to anyone).
